Best Answer:If you are worried that due to your size/weight you should have a longer ski don't worry. I'm roughly the same size/weight and am have used these on all terrain in both groomed and ungroomed conditions and was in control at both moderate and high speeds.

I do not have a particular bias for brand, but I would like a ski that is all-mountain with a slant to mogul preference. I consider myself an aggressive expert skier with 45 years of skiing experience (I am 63). I weigh 150 lbs. an I am 5'7". I have skied lengths of 204 cm to 185 cm. My last ski was a freestyle ski that I have thoroughly enjoyed but is now difficult to ski moguls because of the chop moguls have become. I would like a few suggestions to consider in various price ranges from mid to high price. Boots are also on the list of consideration. I have skied a mens' size 8 rear entry boot with flex control. They have been comfortable, easy to get on and off, warm, and light weight. Suggestions in various price ranges -mid to high price- would be most appreciated. What do you recommend?

Best Answer:Hey Dennis, There is a lot to answer here! First, parabolic skis are much different that traditional skis. It frustrates people transitioning, but I am the same height and weight as you and use a length between 160 and 165 (you could go as high at a 170 for more aggressive skiing). Beyond that there is sooo much personal preference involved along with what type of skiing you do the most... that you are best to chat with our ski specialists to get the perfect set-up: 1 (800) 409-7669.
